General notes on MP3

MP3 mode
The music that can be played when your
unit is in MP3 mode is generally copy-
right-protected under applicable interna-
tional and national laws. In several
countries, the reproduction of copyright-
ed material is not permitted, even if only
for personal use, without the express pri-
or consent of the copyright holder.
Please check the current copyright laws
for your country and comply with them.
These restrictions naturally do not apply
to your own compositions and record-
ings, or for recordings for which author-
isation has been obtained from the
copyright holder.

Creating an MP3/WMA
storage medium
• The maximum number of tracks per
medium depends on the number of
folders and file name length. Here, for
a full file name length, it can be as-
sumed that for 0 folders about 240
tracks and for, e.g., 50 folders a total
of around 160 tracks are possible.
• Only MP3 and WMA tracks stored on
a CD in compliance with ISO 9660
can be played.
• If the artist's name and track title are
to be displayed, an ID3 tag must be
added to the MP3 file. This unit sup-
ports versions ID3v1 and ID3v2.
• The display of artist's name and track
title is restricted to a total maximum
length of 24 characters.
• The MP3 formats MPEG1, MPEG2
and MPEG2.5 Layer3 are supported
by the unit.
Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 -
320 kbit/s and scan rates of 8 - 48 kHz
are supported. For creating MP3 files,
we recommend using the MP3 encod-
er from Fraunhofer.
For WMA, WMA 9 with a bit rate of
64 - 192 kbit/s is supported. For creat-
ing WMA, we recommend using Win-
dows Media Player Version 9 from
®
Microsoft .
• We recommend a bit rate of at least
160 kbit/s for compressing MP3 files.
It should be noted that with MP3 files
having a variable bit rate, the display
of the elapsed playing time may devi-
ate from real time.
• If both MP3/WMA data and conven-
tional audio tracks are included on the
CD it is usually referred to as a mixed-
mode CD. On this kind of CD the au-
dio tracks are generally located in the
first directory on the CD.
